Chapter 170
Chapter 170
After seeing the Boss's Wife for the first time, my Boss was suddenly inspired to create and wrote "The Metamorphosis of the Nouveau Riche".
But even he didn't expect that the end of the nouveau riche's evolution would be a domineering CEO.
And he himself became the domineering CEO's doting husband.
After graduating from graduate school, the Boss's Wife joined the Shen Group. At first, she was Mr. Shen Chaowen's assistant for a year. In name, she was his assistant, but in reality, she hardly did any real work, just following Mr. Shen around to learn the ins and outs and capriciousness of the business world.
A year later, she became the CEO of one of the Group's nearly moribund subsidiaries.
She became busier and busier, while my Boss stayed at home, taking care of the wife and kids, revolving his whole life around them.
Oh, the script seems to have reversed, but both of them are happy with the arrangement.
From the subsidiary to the company, and then to the group headquarters, this process took the Boss's Wife ten years.
In the twelfth year, she was appointed as the Group's CEO. That was also the year my Boss won the World Literature Prize.
That year, my third child was born smoothly.
Hehe, yes, the third one.
I didn't originally want so many children, it's too tiring. But my wife loves me so much, she insisted on having children for me. What could I do?
Hehe.
I fell head over heels for her when I first saw her in Shanghai, she's so adorable, so adorable, so adorable.
Since I'm not a local and also an orphan, let's just say I'm an orphan without parents. I didn't hide my family situation from my wife, she understood, but after discussion, we decided not to tell her parents, as they wouldn't understand.
She is a Shanghai native, an only child pampered by all. Given my background and education, I initially faced a lot of opposition from my in-laws.
"Do you have a house?" the mother-in-law asked me sternly the first time we met.
I took out the property deeds for apartments in all the major first-tier cities, including a four-bedroom unit in the core area of Shanghai.
Thanks to the experiences I gained at the Shen family, I had the financial capability to buy properties, and many of them were purchased at internal employee prices, so their values have multiplied several times by now.
The in-laws' gaze towards me changed immediately, though they were still not very warm, their tone became a bit gentler.
This wasn't out of snobbery, but concern that their pampered only daughter would have to suffer if she married me. After all, she was raised as a princess.
The father-in-law asked, "How many cars do you have?"
You hear that? They didn't even ask if I had a car anymore.
I was delighted and said, "I don't have any cars, I just drive the Boss's cars."
I change my Boss's car every day, driving a different one for at least half a year.
The mother-in-law said, "But you should still have your own car, it's more convenient that way."
I scratched my head, "I'll buy one for Yaoyao once she gets her driver's license, then I won't need one."
That's how, with my financial capabilities, I won over the in-laws.
You must be wondering, how high is my assistant's salary that I could save up so much money? Are you crying and begging my Boss to hire you as an assistant?
He doesn't need one! Don't even think about it! I'm going to work in this position until I retire!
I love my Boss! Love his temper tantrums!
My Boss has a very bad temper, but every time he gets angry, I feel delighted - delighted in my heart, though I have to maintain a calm expression.
I'd pretend to be silly, and go provoke him when he's in a bad mood, then he'd hit me - but it doesn't hurt, hehe!
Even when he's truly angry, he won't hit too hard. Afterwards, he'd feel a bit guilty and give me a bonus.
My annual salary is just a million, but each bonus he gives me starts from a hundred thousand.
Oh, did you hear that? Is that even human talk?
No, it's not normal human talk, but it's what I said!
But after getting married, I hand all the money over to my wife. I only have a few thousand on me, and have to save up for a long time to prepare surprises for my wife.
With her, I have a home.
When she's happy, I'm happy.
Spending money on her and the kids brings me more happiness than spending it on myself.
I think this is the true meaning of money.
The world loves money, but not for money itself, but for the happiness it brings.
This happiness encompasses so many things.
But there are always exceptions. Some people's happiness doesn't come from money, like my Boss's elder brother, Mr. Shen Yuxiao, the former prodigy CEO, who willingly went to the Northwest to grow apples.
